  • Guaranteed syllabus alignment from uploaded documents.
  • Automated creation of comprehensive answer keys.
  • Support for critical assessment formats like QTI and Moodle XML.

Leverage our AI to ensure your practice materials drive strong active recall and target specific knowledge gaps identified directly within your unique teaching or learning documents.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI Test Generation

Clarity on how our tool handles content creation and export.

How does the AI generate questions from my documents?

The AI uses advanced natural language understanding (NLU) models to parse the text, identify factual statements, relationships, and concepts within your uploaded files. It then converts these identified knowledge points into structured multiple-choice questions.

What file formats can I upload to create my custom test paper?

We support major document types including PDF, DOCX, and PowerPoint files (.pptx). You can also upload image files (.jpg, .png) containing text or diagrams that the AI can process.

Can I export the generated test paper for offline use or LMS integration?

Yes. We offer robust export options designed for educators and students. You can export to standard PDF and Word (DOCX) files, or use specialized formats like QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for direct import into Learning Management Systems.

What is the difference between the Free plan and the Paid plan?

The Free tier allows you to use the AI test paper generator with a standard model and a limited number of monthly credits. The Paid plan unlocks access to our more advanced, high-fidelity AI model and provides significantly increased generation credits for heavy users.
